Ghanaian-British singer Stephanie Benson has advised Ghanaian women to focus on exercise, healthy eating, and discipline rather than relying on cosmetic procedures to achieve their desired body shape.
Speaking on Hitz FM's Daybreak Hitz, Benson said women should think about the long-term effects of decisions they make about their bodies.
She described some cosmetic procedures as “quick fixes” and encouraged women to develop healthy habits from a young age.
“Exercise is great. People take it for granted. Nowadays, people are too quick to do quick fixes. They don't think about the future and how it is going to be for them when they are a lot older,” she said.
Benson said the pressure to achieve certain body shapes can push some women into procedures, particularly when they want to meet societal expectations or attract men.
She encouraged women to consider whether such decisions could affect their health and mobility later in life.
The singer also used herself as an example, saying her physique is the result of years of exercise, discipline, and healthy eating rather than cosmetic surgery.
“When people say, 'Stephanie, I want to be like you,' I'm thinking it's the hard work that I put into myself, right from a very young age, that is important,” she said.
Benson dismissed claims that she has undergone cosmetic procedures such as liposuction, explaining that the only major surgery she has had was a mastectomy following cancer.
She further stressed the importance of moderation in her diet, saying she eats different types of food but pays attention to how much she consumes.
“Discipline is everything. What I eat is important to me. I eat everything, though, but only in moderation,” she added.
